" Before a large crowd of students and visitors,
the Tigers defeated the Washburn College team
from Topeka, Kansas, in two twenty-fiv- e min-ute
halves, by a one-side- d score. The only ex-citement
in the game was the long runs made
by Birney, Perry, Ardinger and the two Smiths.
The Tigers outweighed the Washburn men con-siderably
and defeated them easily in what
might be called a brotherly game.
Clark, Washburn's 260-pou- nd guard, started
the game by kicking to the 20 yard line. Perry
caught it and returned 15 yards. Gains of from
3 to S yards by Perry, Ardinger, Anamosa, and
20 yards by Birney on a double pass placed the
ball on the 4 yard line where Perry was pushed
over for a touchdown. Ardinger kicked goal.
The timekeepers announced that the time for
the first touchdown was 7 minutes, though
there was no onem the crowd who thought it
was more than 3 minutes.
Clark again kicked off and the ball went only
35 yards and was caught by Birney who return-ed
15 yards. On a line buck, Anamosa fum-bled
and Smith of Washburn fell on the ball.
Missouri immediately took the ball on downs.
The Tigers now marched steadily toward the
Washburn goal, Perry doing the best work.
Ardinger made the touchdown and kicked goal,
making the score 12 to o. 21 minutes of play.
Clark again kicked 35 yards to Birney who
returned 25. Here Washburn was off-si-de and
Missouri was given 5 yards. Ardinger punted
35 yards, but Smith of Washburn didn't get the
ball till it rolled to the 2 yard line. Time was
called with the ball in Washburn's possession
on her own 7 yard line.
In the second half, Hayes kicked 40 yards to
Read who was downed in his tracks by E. B.
Smith. Here Washburn got together and by
fast and snappy playing, rushed the ball down
to the 35 yard line where Cunningham tried for
place kick. Missouri's defensive work here
was disappointing. The kick was a poor one
and Birney got the ball on the 10 yard line and
ran back 30 yards, dodging several men. He
immediately made 25 more on the double pass,
getting past every man except the full back.
Fifteen yards each by Smith and Ardinger, and
20 more by Ardinger around right end put the
ball behind the goal. Ardinger kicked his third
goal, making the score iS to o.
At the next kick-of- f, Birney caught the ball
and ran through the entire Wrashburn team and
was tackled from behind after making 70 yards.
When almost on the goal line, Ardinger fum-bled
and Perry fell on the ball back of the line,
Ardinger failed at goal. Score 23 to o. Before
the last touchdown was made, Wulff replaced
Ardinger and Hogan replaced Anamosa. Ellis
made the final touchdown but failed to kick the
goal. Score 2S to o. Time was soon called
with the ball in the center of the field.

Football Conditions
Why is it that when the Missouri team enters
a game with any degree of confidence, tha it
invariably plays a listless game? Why is it t.iat
Missouri never runs up a large score even whon
she meets a weak team? Other teams, when
they play inferior elevens, run up as. high a sc re
as possible. The Missouri team had an easy
proposition last Saturday in Washburn, but the
men took things so easy that the score was ten
or twenty points less than it should have been.
Most of the spectators, the coach, and the play-ers
themselves were disappointed at the loose
and unspirited game the Tigers played. After
the game, one man at the training table said:
"There wasn't a man on the team that played
hard," and no one disputed what he said.
The writer has seen all thegames played, so
; liidiaove'iy case the opposing
- ,A iju. ter and with mon snap than
the Tigers. Even the untrained Washburn
team, when it got hold of the ball, executed its
plays fast and hard. In the Michigan-Wisconsi- n
game last Saturday, Michigan won the game in
the first few minutes of play by carrying the
Wisconsin team off its feet. The lightning-lik- e
play drilled into the Michigan team by "Hurry-up- "
Yost won the championship for Michigan.
Why can't the Missouri team have something
like that? Now, in the Washburn game, Birney
was called upon time and time again to repeat
signals often he had to repeat them twice.
Birney is slow enough calling signals as it is,
and when asked to repeat a signal he seems to
waste a lot of time.
And then, another thing. The team work is
not at all good. The play is loose and uneven,
and the man with the ball is not given enough
assistance. The "clock-lik- e precision" in exe-cuting
plays, as the work of Nebraska, Wiscon-sin
and Michigan is described, is unknown here.
Several of the Washburn men were asked after
the game as to their idea of the strength of Mis-souri
as compared with Kansas. They were all
of the opinion that we had far better material,
but that Kansas had the better team. One man
said that K. U.'s team work was the best he
had ever seen, that every man was in the play
with all his might.
Now we want to beat Iowa and especially
Kansas, this season. We have the material to
do it with, and if we don't win, the fault will lie
some place else. The men on the first team
make no secret of the fact that there is a loose-ness
ot method and a lack of spirit pervading
this year's team. Men come out to practice, at
times, three quarters of an hour late and some-times
not at all. Some of the men went home
